Each value tested must belong to one and only one equivalent partition. Boundary value analysis or BVA is an extension of equivalence partitioning, but can only be used when the petition created is ordered consisting of numeric or sequential data, the minimum and maximum values of a partition or its boundary values. For example, suppose an input field accepts a single integer only value as an input. The valid range is from one to five inclusive.
